"Hi, this is Katy Perry and I'd just like to say, thanks for checking out my first-ever US Vogue cover, for the July 2013 issue, which was photographed by Annie Leibovitz on a grassy knoll. I hope you enjoy the on-trendness of my sheer floral dress and the wan, watery expression on my face (this shot was probably chosen to portray how much I've matured as a performer, as a woman, as a fashion role model)."
